I bought a felt bmx of torpedo 7 it was awesome great site. i would go with the felt fuse for freestlye- the felt slip-knot tyres are really verstitile much like maxis holllyrollers and felts are designed tough although very light. pm when you decide

Huckthis, just remember, Buy it local because they will be almost the same price, and it will be fully assembled for you. Cause you don't wanna get it in a box and have to do it yourself, risking not doing it right. Aswell, for torp, you aint gonna get warrenty, and for a full bike, your gonna want it.

It may well be out of your price range, but I've been pretty impressed by the Perv "Lewd" (I think it's the Lewd anyway).
Cro-mo mainframe, Euro BB, nice feeling geo.
Sealed 3pce crank, sealed front hub and sealed cassette rear.
Rhino Lite rims and some nice finishing kit in the stem and post etc.

We've sold a few of them and the only problem we've come across so far was a blown bearing in the BB. It was only a single bearing cup, but it was covered under warranty and replaced with a new double bearing BB set.

You'll find them selling for about $549, but you could probably get one a bit cheaper from your local dealer if you try.
